Australia’s Violent Soho have posted the video for “Muscle Junkie.” Violent Soho is signed to Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label and is often compared to early proto-punk bands like MC5 and the Stooges and more modern grunge and punk bands like Nirvana. The song comes from their self-titled debut.
Epitaph Records‘ I Am Ghost have called it quits. The band explained:
I wish it was something crazier. I wish it was the fact that I hated everyone in the band, or that we had no more music to give. But, in reality, it’s nothing like that. The fact is, we have grown up. I am not the same guy I was five years ago; none of us are. And for me, new doors have been open for the next chapter in my life. The same goes for the rest of the members. We gave the good fight and toured through rain, sleet, hail, snow and with broken and bruised bones.
The band’s final album was 2008’s Those We Leave Behind.
